inhereted static member referencing
-
I have the following class:
class BaseClass { static char* wp; void Dynamic(char* s) { this->wp = s; } }and a derivative:class Derived : public BaseClass { // static char* wp; // have been trying this, not sure if needed }Basically, what I want to accomplish is this: I want to reference the static member wp of the derived class in the inhereted function and reference the BaseClass member in the Baseclass function so..BaseClass *bc = new BaseClass(); Derived *d = new Derived(); bc->Dynamic("something"); d->Dynamic("something else");After this code, I want bc::wp != d::wp, but alas, bc::wp == d::wp == "something else". I would LIKE to have bc::wp == "something" and d::wp == "something else". Anybody have any clues as to how I might realise this? And yes I do realise I could make them non-static, but I am interested in a way of doing this... if at all possible. -

Then, you also have to implement Dynamic() in the derived class so it refers to the derived class' static member and not the base class' static member.
